[Got Torque?]

ok, even though i have been around cars for a while i am still definitely a newbie. i am turning 16 in february and i live in aurora colorado. im looking for an 87-93 5.0 5 speed that i want to turn into a killer street machine. i know that these are hard questions to answer but i would like some thoughts from some other car nutz. i would like to know how much power i might make with decent tuning and possible quarter mile times (assuming im a decent driver), keep in mind that this is at bandimere speedway in colorado. the setup that i was going to go with starts with a pro-street 306 ci (9.0:1 compresion) rotating assembly from chp. with bbk shorty (ceramic coated of course) 1 and 5/8in headers, magnaflow 2 1/2 high flow cats/mufflers w/ x-pipe exhaust. bbk aluminum underdrve pullies, bbk CAI, gt-40 lower intake, and twisted wedge heads (unported). as for induction, i was gonna go with a kenne bell blowzilla/flowzilla at 12lbs. (the flowzilla intake part is only compatible with a gt40 lower). what cam would keep me street legal but be good for 6200 rpm? ( the kenne bell is for low end torque but i wanted a cam that is somewhat high end) would this even be emissions legal? i already thought about drivetrain stuff. any help is very appreciated. and as i said before these are difficult questions but you guys are frickin smart.

Correct me if I wrong... but I believe the Kenne Bell blowers for the 302/351 motors don't have an optional air to water heat exchanger like the 4.6 one's. I'm semi positive here....

If so there is no way your gonna run 12lbs into a 9.0:1 motor on pump gas w/o some type air charge cooling either an FMIC or some kind of alcohol/methanol injection.

This is the second time in like an hour a 16 year old/almost 16 year posted about some kind of insanely fast car. Dude..you need to learn how to drive a car before you start talking about getting an 11 second car.

[Got Torque?]

youre right, they dont make an intercooler for those kits, which is why im going to try to fabricate one. i forgot to mention that.

[Got Torque?]

look i know how to drive, and ive been thinkin about every part for at least two years now.and im not lookin for 11 sec. i was hoping for mid to high 12's. i dont mean to sound like a dick, but why do i get this feeling that you think i know nothin because im young. granted you probably have more experience and knowledge but dont underestimate me.

[dampachi]

I'm not saying you don't know anything about cars. I'm just saying you don't need a really fast car. You're not even 16...so I'm assuming you don't have a license...so how well do you think you can drive? Trust me. A high performance RWD clutch can and will get away from you. Someone on here in a different part of the forum was talking about a 16 year old with a TT supra who couldn't handle it and ended up wrecking it.

believe me i know i dont need it, but ive been in (and drove) an 02 supercharged gt that had around 430 hp and torque. whenever we raced or merged onto the highway i got a rush that i never felt before. this is my life. of course im not gonna be able to do anything to it for such a long time. but that gives me time to learn and to be responsible. i just want your guys' ideas. dont try to talk me out of it.

[mustang_mike_2003]

your 5.0 will have a diffrent feel from any cobra youve driven. We're not trying to talk you out of it..heck were all here because of that rush we got the first time we romped a v8..right guys? were just saying you shouldnt have such high expectations of a car you havent even bought..

[dampachi]

Exactly. That car stock will be plenty fast for you. and if you absolutely think you need more...get some bolt ons.

[Got Torque?]

youre right, maybe i will get it and it will be fast enough, maybe not. but all i know is that ill eventually get hooked on the bolt on adventure and it will never end. thats the way it almost always is right? well thanks anyway
